"Is this how they say it in the United States?" It's a question I get a lot from students. 
First things first, I am not from the U.S. myself, as you may have noticed. 
Living in the U.S. for a period of time as an international student taught me many things about how English is spoken there. 

In this episode, I share with you the most important things that I learned about English while living in the U.S., especially dealing with fears of speaking English with Americans. 

I Just Wanna Be Fluent in English!

Halo semua! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Saya punya kabar gembira! Sepupu saya berbadan dua! Ya, Kalian tidak salah dengar. Berbadan dua. Haha.. “Berbadan dua” artinya “hamil”. Di Bahasa Inggris artinya “pregnant”, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “妊娠している”。Ini adalah kehamilan pertama sepupu saya, jadi dia sangat berhati-hati menjaga kesehatan badannya. Dia sedikit khawatir, tentang virus dan lainnya. Ya, Saya harap semuanya baik dan tahun depan saya bisa pergi ke Indonesia untuk bertemu dengan keponakan saya yang baru! 
Apa kalian sedang merasa senang hari ini? Apa kalian punya kabar gembira? Selamat bekerja dan beraktivitas ya! Sampai jumpa lagi! 


Akhir minggu

Berbadan dua

NOVA PASSANTE


1. sobre
esta pele branca
um calígrafo oriental
teria gravado sua escrita
luminosa
— sem esquecer entanto
a boca: um
ícone em rubro
tornando mais fogo
suor e susto
tornando mais ácida e
insana a sede
(sede de dilúvio)

2. talvez
um poeta afogado num
danúbio imaginário dissesse
que seus olhos são duas
machadinhas de jade escavando o
constelário noturno:
a partir do que comporia
duzentas odes cromáticas
— mas eu que venero (mais que o ouro verde
raríssimo) o marfim em
alta-alvura de teu andar em
desmesura sobre uma passarela de
relâmpagos súbitos, sei que
tua pele pálida de papel
pede palavras
de luz

3. algum
mozárabe ou andaluz
decerto
       te dedicaria
um concerto
            para guitarras mouriscas
e cimitarras suicidas
(mas eu te dedico quando passas
no istmo de mim a isto
este tiroteio de silêncios
esta salva de arrepios)

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

多くの都立高校が4月から厳しい校則をなくす

In this story, an aeroplane named Seven is using a secret energy source. But the assistant engineer might know what it is. 
This is Part 3 of 5. 

It was 12:00pm and Seven was playing cards with Zack the pilot in their hangar.
 
Seven picked up a few cards and slammed five down on the table. “Once again, I’m winning, Zack. When will you ever learn? You can’t beat me—Hah!” 

Zack, looking frustrated, said, “Next time I’ll beat you. I’m going to practice online. You’ll see. Next time.” 

Tobee arrived for work and went straight to the office. He noticed the security camera system was blinking, alerting some kind of action needed. Tobee took care of it and turned to exit the office. 

But what was this? In front of him there were several huge barrels labelled ‘7-Up’. Tobee thought that it was illegal to use 7-Up. He understood it was a cheaper fuel source, but he believed it wasn’t worth the risk. Tobee believed in the government’s decision to ban 7-Up as a fuel source. 

Tobee stepped out into the main hangar and confronted Zack. 

“Boss? There are seven giant barrels of 7-Up in the office. Have you been giving it to Seven? You know that’s illegal, right? Why are you doing this? You’re risking your entire business.” 

Zack looked undeniably suspicious and worried. He struggled to speak confidently and said, “Oh that… that’s left over from my son’s 14th birthday party last week. Want some?” 

Tobee said, “Uh… okay. But… I’m a bit… hurt that you didn’t invite me…” 

Zack laughed nervously. “Yes… I only just invited family and friends… Sorry, Tobee. Maybe next time. Uhh, feel free to take some home if you want.” 

As Tobee left the main hangar, Seven whispered to Zack, “Phew, that was a close one. Thankfully he bought it.” 

Tobee didn’t believe Zack’s improvised story, but he tried to play along. He didn’t want Zack catching onto him. Tobee thought that he’d discover the truth for himself.
